Sorry, but I didn't read all the posts and I'm sure mine don't differ much, if at all. I'm sure I vary it a bit every time I sing it.


Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Stay till the sun goes down

Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't get little Shady Grove
I don't want none at all

I wish I had a big old horse
And corn to feed him on
Pretty little gal to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone

Went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockin's in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor

A kiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as sherry wine
Ain't no girl in this whole world
That's prettier than mine.
